Mattress removal in Arlington Heights, IL
Booking takes about a minute. Pick your items and a pickup day, put the mattress out that morning, and we'll load it and take it away. Most of our Arlington Heights pickups are curbside, so there's nothing to wrap and no trip to make.
From there it goes to our local recycling facility, where our team takes it apart by hand. The foam gets baled for carpet padding, the steel springs go to scrap processors, and box-spring wood gets chipped. Here's the whole process if you want to see it.

What Arlington Heights asks for if you use city pickup
These are Groot Recycling & Waste Services, Inc.'s requirements, not ours — they apply if you're putting the mattress out for the city rather than booking a pickup with us.
- Groot Recycling & Waste Services, Inc. says: “Weight limit: 50 pounds per item”.
- April through October: after 7:00 p.m. the night before collection.
- Their accepted list is unlimited weekly collection of household waste (excluding oversized or overweight items). — it doesn't name mattresses either way, so ask before you put one out.
